Anglerfish have always been the animal that top the charts for me in disgust, terror, and fascination. Really cool to learn more about the way they live.

I spent many years thinking they were invented as scary video game baddies...was pretty horrified when I found out they're actually real.

They are absolutely terrifying to me on a visual level but holy crap are they cool creatures

Not only the aesthetics, but also the idea that individuals of one sex dissolve into their mates bodies. It's all kind of nightmarish.

No no, that’s the cool part haha
